Expedit/Vika Amon Desk

Description: Originally intended to be a DJ/Media center for music and podcasting. The concept was to use a hack posted last year (Expedit Standing Desk).

Unfortunately the desk was way too large for our space and ingenuity came into play.

What I did was use the Expedit Shelving Units as the base (side by side) of the desk then placed a Vika Amon 59″ Table Top across the top. Not a hack… Besides the bar chair we purchased was too high and wouldn’t fit properly under the desk top or with someone seated.

I then used the 4″ Capita legs I had originally intended to use and placed them under the table top creating an elevated platform that allows the chair and user to sit under comfortable as well.

Speakers are Klipsch Quintet III. They are actually part of my 5.1 surround sound. Since we’ve moved to a smaller space with higher walls it was difficult to mount the speakers w/out cables showing so I decided to use the speakers for music.
